Take ten pounds best rosin soap; four pints alcohol, ninety-five per-cent. g two ounces borax, dissolved in aqua ammonia; one pound aqua ammonia; two ounces beef-gall; four ounces pumicestone.

Place the whole in a. retort, and let it boil ten minutes. After it comes to a. boil, continue to stir until it begins to chill, in order to prevent the pumice from settling at the bottom. i p

This soapis intended for removing grease, fruit, or acid-stains, and restore the color tothe cloth. It may bealso used as a toilet soap, as it will remove tan, and is excellent forthe skin.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
